Fans of sinister costumes and spectral atmospheres can take a breather. Rockstar Games has just announced a series of free gifts in Red Dead Onlineon the occasion of Halloween 2025. This content can be claimed within a limited period of time, as specified in a message published on the publisher’s official website.
“Halloween is the perfect time to unleash your inner ghoul. Celebrate Halloween in spooky style with this Game2Get look, complete with a menacing pig mask for those who prefer the safety and thrill of anonymity. Get Madame Nazar’s pig mask and the following clothing items from the Wheeler, Rawson & Co catalog for free.”
On the program: a terrifying pig mask, a Stringham shirt, cuffed dress pants and high-top loafers. Everything is accessible via the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. catalog, or directly from Madame Nazar for specific cosmetic elements.
Players welcome the gifts… but demand more
While the offer will delight fans of customization, it leaves an aftertaste of unfinished business. No special events or story missions really accompany these additions, contrary to what some hoped. The still fresh memory of the “Strange Tales of the West Vol. 1” mini-event, earlier this year, remains in everyone’s minds. This temporary content featured robots and zombies, in an atmosphere worthy of the pulp stories of yesteryear. Since then, radio silence on a possible Volume 2.
On the community side, many still dream of a return of the legendary DLC Undead Nightmarewhich brilliantly explored the supernatural in the first opus. The ideal, according to fans, would be a new generation port for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, accompanied by new horrific content – even if the chances of seeing this scenario come to fruition seem very slim.
Red Dead Online, a missed opportunity for Rockstar?
Frustration grows around Red Dead Onlineoften seen as wasted potential. Less popular than GTA Onlineits big brother, the multiplayer mode of Rockstar’s western never really reached its full potential. However, the universe of Red Dead Redemption is full of untapped avenues to delve into the fantastic, between UFOs, Bigfoot, and other legends of the Wild West already teased in the game universe.
Rockstar continues to focus most of its efforts on GTA, gradually abandoning its acclaimed western. This new half-hearted Halloween therefore revives the hopes – but above all the regrets – of a community still very attached to the Wild West of Red Dead.
